the power of calm
I am enjoying a perfect Sunday doing my online thing and have just found the website below. I love the minimalist design and skillfully crafted content.
Idea of Self
http://www.mindpowerpeople.com
Your Idea of Self is who you think you are. Do you think that you are a good person? Do you think that you are a confident person? All of the ideas that you have about yourself is your Idea of Self.
Certain things in your life will try to make you change your idea of self. If someone tries to criticize you, then they are attacking your idea of self. If they are successful in attacking your idea of self, then you will change your idea of self and have a new idea of self. For example, if you believe that you are beautiful and someone says you are ugly, who are you going to believe? Will you let that person change your idea of self?
It's amazingly powerful when you can let the insults of "others" roll off your back emotionally. My current MO is to forgive everything instantly (as much as possible!)

Being simple of mind, I must admit I like this sort of explanation more than your subsequent post. Within certain ill-defined limits, each of us creates (or can have the power to create) our own worlds. There is an objective “something” out there to which we respond and over which it seems we have no control. But even this varies from person to person. We all know people who are helpless leaves being blown to and fro, prisoners of destiny. And there are others who seem to consciously create a reality to their own liking with such casual ease that it is just amazing. Yet even they are engulfed in the universal soup of some objective reality….or maybe not.
You choose.
